Kershaw's black Leek offers Ken Onion's distinctive design as well as the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. With SpeedSafe, the user can smoothly and easily deploy the 3 Sandvik 14C28N steel blade with one hand, either left or right. The blade is a modified drop-point, making it a great slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the ability to do detailed work. This Leek has everything the classic Leek has, plus a diamond-like carbon coating of matte black. Made in the USA.
